Steps

• Prepare the Pizza Dough
• Mix the warm water, sugar, and yeast in a small bowl. Let it sit for 5 minutes until the yeast activates and becomes foamy.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil.
• Stir the ingredients together until a dough forms. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
• Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
• Prepare the Tomato Sauce
• In a saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
• Add crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir well and let the sauce simmer for 15-20 minutes until thickened.
• Remove from heat and set aside.
• Assemble and Bake the Pizza
• Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C).
• Punch down the risen dough and transfer it to a floured surface. Roll out the dough into a round shape of desired thickness.
• Transfer the rolled-out dough to a baking sheet or pizza stone.
• Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
• Arrange the sliced buffalo mozzarella on top of the sauce.
• Sprinkle torn basil leaves over the cheese.
• Drizzle olive oil over the pizza and season with salt and black pepper.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
• Serve and Enjoy
• Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
• Slice the pizza into wedges and serve hot.

Tips

• For a crispier crust, preheat a pizza stone in the oven before baking the pizza.
• Feel free to add your favorite toppings such as sliced tomatoes, olives, or mushrooms.
• Fresh buffalo mozzarella is recommended for its creamy texture and flavor.
